Past News Releases

The Mako Group, a leading US distributor of weapon accessories designed and manufactured in Israel, announced today that FAB DEFENSE has introduced a rifle buttstock that does what no other collapsible AR-15 (M4) buttstock can do: carry an integral 5.56 or .223 magazine of any capacity, ready for instant access.

Free for a limited time, purchasers will receive a bonus 10-round AR-15 (M4) magazine.

GL-MAG M4 SURVIVAL STOCKS can carry any capacity AR-15 (M4) magazines.
These are held securely in the stock by the same mechanisms that secure a magazine to the rifle’s firing system. The stock’s quick-release button places the magazine in hand instantly, ready for loading.

Features include:

Inconspicuous, sleek design with no protruding parts.

Will not snag on gear or webbing.

No more awkward magazine pouch dangling on a buttstock.

Keeps all of the characteristics of the M4 Buttstock, while incorporating a state-of-the-art internal magazine carrier.

Accepts any capacity AR-15 (M4) magazines.

Positions a spare magazine close at hand for a rapid change, providing a tactical edge.

Does not interfere with or change buttstock-to-shoulder positioning.

Fits perfectly on both MIL-SPEC and aftermarket commercial tubes.

Integrated ambidextrous swivel QD Quick Detach rear sling connectors.

Who needs a GL-MAG M4 SURVIVAL STOCK?

Anyone owning or using an AR-15 or M4, who wants to always have at least ten rounds at hand every time they grab their rifle, and law enforcement professionals that want to have an extra ten rounds immediately available if they run out of ammo before a situation is stabilized.

Law Enforcement: For patrol carbines, the GL-MAG M4 keeps a magazine on the rifle, always. Eliminates the need to search for ammunition in an emergency. Just grab the rifle and go. Also makes it easy to have specialty rounds at hand instantly. We hope every confrontation ends quickly and safely, but if a prolonged engagement is encountered, the extra ten rounds in a GL-MAG M4 Stock might be a lifesaver.

Military: One less magazine to be carried in a cumbersome stock pouch attached to the rifle. Especially useful when and where regulations prevent the carrying of ammunition in the magazine well, while also requiring that a magazine be attached to the rifle.

Hunters: Keep the carbine unloaded when necessary or appropriate to do so, but always have ammo ready when game appears. Makes it easy to carry different rounds for close- and long-range shots. Eliminates noisy pouches and belt carriers that can snag on brush.

Home Defense: Even waking up from a deep sleep, a defender can be confident that when the carbine is grabbed, ammo is in hand...without the rifle being loaded at all times.

Range: Enjoy improved balance because the ammunition in a GL-MAG M4 Survival Stock can help to offset some of the up-front weight of the barrel. This contributes to a more solid hold, better aim and higher scores.

The magazine is on us.

According to Addy Sandler, Chief Executive Officer of The Mako Group, “The GL-MAG M4 Buttstock is called the SURVIVAL Stock, because it helps to increase assurance that when the chips are down, or the need is extreme, 10 or more rounds of ammunition are instantly ready for action. Any hunter that has ever climbed into a tree before discovering that his ammo was left behind will want a GL-MAG M4 Survival Stock. Any law enforcement officer that has had to waste precious moments rummaging through a patrol car trunk, searching for carbine ammunition, will realize that the GL-MAG M4 Survival Stock should be standard on all law enforcement AR-15 and M4 rifles. In fact, we are so convinced that this should be everyone’s stock of choice, we are giving a 10-round magazine free with every GL-MAG M4 purchase, while the supply lasts.”

Manufacturer’s suggested list price for the GL-MAG M4 Survival Stock $122.40.
With each purchase, a matching 10-round magazine is available free, while the supply lasts.

Test and evaluation units are available for special purchase by law enforcement agencies on a limited basis.
